Chapter 11
Harry’s P.O.V
When the dialing tone stops ringing, I’m relieved to hear Louise’s voice fill my head, intoxicating me. I begin to ramble into the speaker, rambling on apologies, until I realize Lou is still talking. Seconds later, it comes to a stop, and a monotone voice replaces hers. “If you would like to leave a message, please begin after the beep. If you would like to leave a call back number, please press five.” the voice demands. Realizing I was caught in the illusion, I hang up the phone, letting out a deep sigh. Laying my head back on the steering wheel, close my eyes, and think. Maybe I shouldn’t go looking for her. She obviously left for a reason, right? I think, rubbing my hands over my eyes. Picking up my head, I straighten my back, and start the car. She’ll call you back, that is, if she even likes you. My subconscious bugs in the back of my mind. I sigh once more, and put my truck in drive. I pull slowly out of the parking lot, and head back to my house, the distance pulling me further into my doubts, and further away from Louise.
Louise’s P.O.V
The Next Morning
As soon as I wake up, a headache hits me like a boulder, and the pain nearly sends me to the floor. I stumble out of bed, reaching my hands in front of me for any sort of guide. Walking out of my room I decide against turning on any of my lights, and head to the kitchen to get a drink of water. I’m probably just dehydrated. I think, gulping down the entire glass. I’m currently in between jobs, and I don’t exactly have my schedule packed, so I head back into my bedroom, in hopes to sleep off this agonizing headache. Not only to escape the headache, but the thoughts that have been flooding and consuming my mind ever since Harry left me alone at the hospital. As upset as I am about it, I can’t help but smile back on the short lived memories we had during our time together. I hardly knew Harry but.. for some reason, when I’m with him, I feel natural and… Okay, for a little bit. Walking back to my bedroom, I decide I’ll sleep on my … “feelings” for Harry, and I climb back into bed, hiding myself away from the world under my sheets.
